Book Description
Savannah has a secret…a secret that could cost her everything she’s been working for. Coming to Merveille and taking up a position as one of Queen Alyssa’s ladies in waiting hadn’t been part of Savannah Rousseau’s plan, but she wasn’t going to turn down the opportunity when it came her way. The daughter of an impoverished viscount, Savannah had nothing to lose and everything to gain by being included amongst the new queen’s entourage…as long as no one found out about her secret. Savannah loved her son. Archer was the sun and moon of her life, but being a single mother would mean instant disqualification from the ladies in waiting. So she hid him from the queen and her new friends…for two years. Now someone had stumbled upon her secret and Savannah would do anything to ensure that she didn’t become a royal embarrassment. Jed Fairchild came to Merveille to escape his own scandal and the last thing he wanted was to be embroiled in another. Finding out about the young boy and impoverished viscount that Savannah had stashed in the abandoned hunting cabins was a complication that he didn’t need. Being attracted to the hot-tempered lady in waiting was another. All Jed wanted was to live a simple life working with his horses and ignoring the rest of the world, but with Savannah in his life and the inquisitive Archer following him like his very own shadow, the quiet life was the last thing Jed had…and maybe it wasn’t really what he wanted after all.

Book Description
Lady Margaret de la Fontaine was the forgotten lady in waiting. She didn’t mind…most of the time. She liked working with Lady Savannah and the others and believed whole-heartedly in what the queen was trying to achieve in their small country of Merveille. She just wished that someone would notice her, just once. Queen Alyssa’s ladies in waiting had, one by one, met and fallen in love with their dream partners, all except Margaret, not that anybody had given her single status another thought. That didn’t mean she didn’t also wish for someone to love, but she wasn’t holding her breath, especially since her best friend, Lady Hadley Winchester, was now part of the ladies in waiting. It seemed the newest member of the group was a hit with everyone, including the queen, which was great but once again left Margaret as the wallflower. Until Brín. Brín noticed the sweet wee Maggie standing against the wall while everyone else at the ball danced and chatted. He felt a kinship with her, even across the room and sought her out for a little bit of harmless flirting. He was supposed to be checking out the candidates for his arranged marriage, but he really wasn’t keen on the whole idea. He understood his responsibility as the lost heir of a broken down estate that was haemorrhaging money, but he didn’t really see himself as the marrying kind…and even if he did, he’d want to do it for love, not money. Brín was immediately taken with Lady Margaret, but alas, she was not the debutante his advisors had picked out for him. That honour went to Maggie’s best friend, Lady Hadley. But what was a newly minted earl to do when he had the livelihoods of several staff and families to look after? Not to mention, if he didn’t find a solution he may very well lose the estate and the title that went with it.

Book Description
Lady Georgina Darkly, the newly titled Duchess of Pemberton, did not need one more thing to deal with the week before Christmas. The temperature was dropping alarmingly, a snow storm had been predicted, the milk tanks in the dairy were close to freezing and there was a leak in her bedroom roof. To top it all off Clarabelle, the cow that had a mischievous streak a mile wide, had escaped the confines of the barn and could very well freeze to death if Georgie didn’t find her soon. The absolute very last thing she needed was an arrogant, stubborn, wealthy, and undeniably gorgeous Italian to turn up on her doorstep in need of rescuing. Leonardo Ricci, youngest son of one of Italy’s wealthiest families did not want to be stuck in the middle of a snow storm in a country barely more than the size of a postage stamp. He wanted to be with his friends in Milan not suffering through a stilted family Christmas with his parents. When a cow appeared in the middle of the road and caused his beautiful Ferrari to careen out of control into a snow bank, he honestly didn’t think his day could get any worse…and then he met the Duchess. She was opinionated, stubborn, far too capable for her own good, stunningly beautiful, and immune to his charms. They had nothing in common and if she hadn’t rescued him then he probably would never have given her another thought. But then they got stuck together in her rundown mansion with no electricity and no phones…and that’s when the sparks really started to fly.

The Spare is now the Heir Alyssabeth never expected that one day she would be queen. She was the second child of the king and queen of Merveille and female. Two strikes against her as far as the patriarchal society of Merveille was concerned. But that all changed the day her father and brother were killed in a hunting accident. Her dream of joining the UN is no more and instead she needs to return to the small European country of her birth to pick up where her father and brother left off. Her Harvard degree in International Relations is forfeit and in it's place she must become Queen, that is if the misogynistic Parliament can see past their prejudices. Not much has changed in the small country in her four year absence, but there are two noticeable differences. Her brother's two best friends, Will Darkly and Jordan Wicks, have grown up into two very intriguing men. Jordan practically sweeps her off her feet from the moment she steps off the plane, but Will's more reserved, darkly intense interest in her gives her tingles. Alyssa isn't sure she is cut out to be Queen, but she knows that she wants to do her father and brother proud, so she is willing to give it her best shot, even if it means going toe to toe with Parliament. And then there is the small matter of her needing to be married in order to fulfil her birthright and take her place as the Head of State. *This is a sweet romance

Book Description
**A Wall Street Journal bestseller** An updated edition of this blockbuster narrative provides the first behind-the-scenes, authoritative account of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s marriage, by the New York Times bestselling author of Diana in Private. The fall from popular grace of Prince Harry, the previously adulated brother of the heir to the British throne, as a consequence of his marriage to the beautiful and dynamic Hollywood actress and "Suits star" Meghan Markle, makes for fascinating reading in this groundbreaking book from Lady Colin Campbell, who is the New York Times bestselling biographer of books on Princess Diana, the Queen Mother, and Queen Elizabeth’s marriage. With a unique breadth of insight, Lady Colin Campbell goes behind the scenes, speaking to friends, relations, courtiers, and colleagues on both sides of the Atlantic to reveal the most unexpected royal story since King Edward VIII's abdication. She highlights the dilemmas involved and the issues that lurk beneath the surface, revealing why the couple decided to step down as senior royals. She analyses the implications of the actions of a young and ambitious Duke and Duchess of Sussex, in love with each other and with the empowering lure of fame and fortune, and leads the reader through the maze of contradictions Meghan and Harry have created—while also evoking the Californian culture that has influenced the couple's conduct. Meghan and Harry: The Real Story exposes how the royal couple tried and failed to change the royal system—by adapting it to their own needs and ambitions—and, upon failing, how they decided to create a new system—and life—for themselves.

Book Description
I want to set the record straight. Everything you’ve heard about my stepmother is wrong. Okay, she did have a magic mirror of sorts, but that is about the only truth in the tale you’ve heard. For a start, she wasn’t my stepmother, she was my mother. The victors write the history, or at least the ones with the pen do. My mother gets a bad rap because she stood up to some powerful people and those people were the ones who got to dictate the ‘truth.’ The story you’ve heard, or read, tells of a woman twisted by vanity who couldn’t stand that her stepdaughter was more beautiful than she was. Such utter crap. Only a man could write something so asinine. I’m pretty sure that men purposely pit women against women so that we can never unite because every man knows if women could come together, they wouldn’t stand a chance against us…but I digress. According to the ‘history’, my stepmother—mother—was so jealous of me that she commanded a huntsman to take me into the woods and kill me. Apparently, my stepmother wanted to eat my heart so she could become immortal—insert eye roll here. Of course the valiant man did not kill me—insert another eye roll here—but rather helped me to escape my evil stepmother’s clutches. If you haven’t guessed already, I’m not exactly happy with the way things have turned out. Let’s not forget about the multiple attempts to kill me—all blamed on my mother, of course—or the fact that a complete stranger stole my body while I was in a coma…yeah, we’ll get to that. This entire story has been nothing but propaganda. A blatant attempt by a neighbouring king to marry me off to his son, take over my homeland, and dethrone my mother. Well, I’ve had enough. I’m writing this down to document the truth. This is truth as I experienced it…the real truth. This is the full and unabridged tale of my own life. Me, Snow White, the Poisoned Princess.
